Young people on a cabin cruiser travel long distances driven by a millennial named “Mang Berto”. They are going to Pangasinan and it will take them another day even before they reached the far –flung part of the island called “Paradise Island” to perform the documentary video about tourism in the Philippines in their subject Philippine History and Geography.
Friends and classmates got together for the first time. They are: Diannelyn B. Tiama, her half-brother Jonathan Bustos then Alejandro O. Sales and transfer student named Marielle P. Jalla while the students in the other section were included in them. They are Jhun Mark R. Malabunga, Marvin Ocado
Ex-boyfriend of Dianne
and his date Myka May Maravilla.
Quite awkward situation still and on the one hand every moment is disgusting for Marvin and Dianne. Especially now that her ex-boyfriend is with another woman on their long trip. Although Dianne is still in the healing process, she had just endured continued avoidance somehow she could resist a little bit of heart break. She still in love with him but she need to let go the feeling and move on.
“Mang Berto, how long is our trip?” Alejandro asked as he stared out at the depths of the sea.
“It’s still a bit far, and it will take us another day. Before we reach that Paradise Island according to this map.” Mang Berto replied while looking closely at the map but in spite of this he felt a little heavy, as if his chest ached.
“Mang Berto, are you ok? You seem to be feeling bad you better rest yourselves.” Alejandro’s advice was worried as he looked closely at the other person’s situation.
“Isn’t drinking the lambanog bad with you?” Marvin replied as he approached the two men.
Mang Berto drank almost three glasses of coconut wine yesterday before they travelled. He drank the coconut wine where his friends called him. He also drank a lot but that alone could have made him sick, whatever they ate and drank on the cabin cruiser had no effect.
“It was nothing, it might just be caused by the extreme heat of the weather. I will feel fine too.” He comforted the two young men as he turned the steering wheel of the boat.
“Well!!!!drink up gentlemen…… May suddenly appeared in front of them holding a goblet with only wine. Her shapely body was obvious while wearing a backless bikini and ripped shorts. Her porcelain skin was even more pronounced by the color of her clothes.
“Whoa !!!! What are you drinking? Alejandro asked, obviously surprised by May’s sudden appearance.
“Hey !!! There’s nothing wrong with us not being kids anymore. Besides, boring !!let us break the silence. Come on!!! Drink up!!!” she continued to give the wine while Alejandro looked enticed so he drank the wine straight from the cup.
“There!!! Good boy!!!! So come on guys…. Come on in cabin. Mang Berto if you don’t mind…” May even waved her hand to show that they had to leave.
“Go ahead kids.”
By that time May had already attracted the two young men to the lower part of the cabin where the other party members are located.
There is a bedroom in the lower cabin, where two separate bedrooms for men and women are located. As well as a room for the living room. Enough space for a little party session.
The cabin cruiser is owned by Jonathan and Dianne’s Daddy and Mang Berto was just one of their parents ’trusted staff so the young people were entrusted to his care. Full of loud sounds, scattered junkfoods etc. finger foods and 3 large bottles of gin were exposed throughout the living room. The young men danced regularly with May while Dianne and Marielle sat to one side chatting happily while pouring the boiled wine.
“Oh girls come and join us, it looks like only May enjoys .” Jhun Mark cheers while enjoying eating chips while dancing on the table. Jhun Mark A.K.A JM is an easy-go-lucky and party goer but he was also one of the top students of the other section, he is not like others who are diligent and diligent in their studies he, on the other hand, is still focused on his education even if effortlessly and his learning strategy and technique still seem mysterious.
“No thanks!!were fine!!!” Diane said.
“By the way, how are you here in the Philippines Marielle? Tell something about yourself.” Dianne asked looking curious at her new classmate.
“Well, my parents started business here in the Philippines so I end up here. We are happy and I hope I have many friends at school.” Shy recounting this to Dianne.
Marielle is a Phil-Am and it was not easy for her to quickly adopt nature and culture in the Philippines but she tries to get along and get along with her new acquaintances especially at the University she currently attends.
“I hope you become our friend too. ” Alejandro replied.
Meanwhile, Alejandro is a genius freak, and easy to operate and handle gadgets work of his eldest brother following the luxury of his parents. All the gadgets that he had hated for a few months were given to him. Because of being a patient child and even a rich child, he knows how to live and not choosing sossy friends.
“Yeah for sure. Hehe” Marielle’s tender response.
“Wait !!! Will the three of you just chat there, or will you join together? Jonathan was somewhat annoyed at what he saw the three companions doing.
Jonathan is running for cum laude and like Jhun Mark he was able to synchronize learning. Friends and hang-outs but as the eldest brother he learned to sacrifice for the good of their family and his education.
“We should carry them three for more fun. ” Naughty idea by Jhun Mark.
Down at the table were: Jonathan, Jhun Mark and Marvin, and they hurriedly lifted Alejandro on the table with both arms and because of that the women continued to laugh. But when they thought that their friends would not do it, they were mistaken. Jonathan and Jhun Mark followed to lift Marielle, the girl blushed a little with embarrassment… she immediately went up to the table but Dianne…. Marvin’s eyesight was right, its arms twitched as if unwilling to let go. At that point she no longer waited to be picked up by friends instead she went up to the table alone. She joins Marielle in dancing while she can’t take her eyes off Marvin and May.
May grabbed the gin and handed it to Marvin, the young man shared in the drink and felt a strange taste in the wine he was drinking.
“Did you mix anything here?” Marvin asked May .
“Nothing!!! It’s just a drop of love my dear.” It was obviously red with excessive intoxication. But she still didn’t beat the flirtation, and she further tightened her grip on Marvin he’s priceless possession. She twisted her hands in every direction and gently brought her lips closer to Marvin’s.
“We found love in a hopeless place…….
We found love in a hopeless place
Loud sounds can be heard.
She quickly pulled Marvin away and showered him with a series of kisses on the lips. Loving and worldly…… Looks like she’s out of circulation, but she doesn’t care to whatever others who see them say. Marvin did not refuse even though he was shocked by what May did because of its tight grip on his shoulder he could no longer lie down. Those moments were on fire and Dianne witnessed an even more insulting feeling which Marvin kept giving her.
She was very annoyed but she had no choice but to take revenge.
She also danced with Jhun Mark and showed she had to be happy so she drank a lot of wine, had an sweet conversation with Marielle, Alejandro and kept up with his brother’s tiktok.
They didn’t care what they were doing. Their party reached almost dawn and they did not know what time they had slept they also forgot the presence of Mang Berto who was busy re –operating the boat. But unbknown to them the old man was gradually weakening and at any time it can die.
The poison mixed with the coconut wine he drank seemed to have taken effect, he has been fighting it for days and it’s time to take action. Traces in its form are fading and dizzy and almost paper in super pale.
